that sure is a one of a kind idea. super creative stuff. they should have used an ipod instead of a flashlight.

ipods? nah man, you use LED flashlights for lightwriting in photography so it makes perfect sense.

yea it truely is but you can’t blame him cause Im pretty sure he started editing this way before that song started to get overused… but even with that song the vid is by far one of the best ones ever on here just like the other ones from knifeshow….seriously good job!

I know what you mean man. I’m an MGMT fan and this has been my favourite MGMT song since it came out. I was actually planning on filming a bit this season, and had some songs in mind. This was one. Then I saw T.I.T.A and this, and I’m like damnit. Everyones using this shit now.

check the guns out teaser brohanadon it came out so long ago. and they made the song way better, not like eddie grams has never reused a song but its still not cool.

this is sick. after gnar wars and the mt. high vid i knew benson would be big.

the song is used in the guns out teaser, so i think another one could have been picked

Yaa but its not the same version of the song. And this video is good like guns out so it deserves the song.

I want to take the knife away from “knife show” and use it to stab whoever made this shit in the ear. your automatically rediculously uncreative if you chose to use this fucking song again. aside from that this was just stupid.

I dont know why everyone is wigging out about the MGMT song. Eddie used it big fuckin deal. If any of you has watched a big budget hollywood film they re-use songs all the time. As far as movie production is concerned its not about who has the most original song so much as who chooses the most pertinent song for the project. Bitching about shit like a song in a video is what makes snowboarding lame.

Actually, it was first used by some kids from Hyland Hills! they used it in their trans am edit.

its not about the song… yeah the song always makes a video part an so on but the song fit the edit well. who cares if it was used in guns out or whatever else it was in, go yell at MDP for using the same song in their Double Decade promo, that song was in the Hot Chocolate Video by Chocolate skateboards. its not a big deal guys. just be chill about an comment the kids editing cause he has some talent.

If you all think that MGMT is getting over played just wait until the PASSION PIT cd comes out in september. I’ll say it first “it will be played everywhere”. This video was great by the way.

Very clever video. Thanks for putting a good idea to use and sharing it.
As far as the song issue, when you watch a snowboard video all the time a song can get associated with a part or a rider. That is why producers try to avoid using a song that someone else used. When it’s just a trailer, not as much. Either way, it’s not that big of a deal in the end, but i guess that some people want to be a part of things and feel all clued in even though they’re just sitting in front of a computer and not adding any creativity to the world. And yes, that goes for me too.
Nice video, great idea, thanks for making my day.

what a big wast of time, not only was it a ripoff of the ipod commercial, but the song was a ripoff of some other shiity web video.

Good. But I didn’t like the lights held in hand. It didn’t have as much an effect as if it was attached to the board, or even in the boots like that one part
